Leadership (Abuja)
21 August 2008
The ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday raised alarm over secret plots by some group of persons in collaboration with some foreign entities to "sabotage the nation and reverse the progress we have so far made as a democratic nation."

These useless politicians make me laugh. What is PDP afraid of? Afraid of toothless group of smaller opposing parties whose combined efforts couldn't even muster 5% of electoral votes last May compared to PDP's landslide victory? How can you expect minority parties of spineless politicians to overthrow the dominant party without guns and the support of the military? Instead of clamoring for the return of a very corrupt, treacherous and insubordinating Atiku back to PDP, the party big wigs should be clamoring for membership of Nigerian ordinary folks to join the party and give it credibility as the party of the people and not just the party of less than 3000 political elites. For their selfishness and lack of unity of purpose/party discipline, PDP is only afraid of its own shadow, like a headless chicken-little running around in circles screaming "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" If anybody is to be afraid it should be Yar Ardua and its visionless administration - learn from the recent events in your neighborhood a la Mauritania and Zambia, one or the other is ripe in Nigeria, if he doesn't shape up.
